Community Based Intervention

30
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

898
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.2K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.4K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

262
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Research Training

Background:

  • The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UH) implemented a program to address underrepresentation in infectious disease research.
  • Minority and underrepresented groups in Hawaiʻi, including Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and certain Asian American communities, were targeted for participation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To immerse undergraduate students in global infectious diseases research.
  • To train a diverse cohort of future scientists to combat global pandemics.
  • To foster interest in global health research among underrepresented students.

Main Methods:

  • An eight-month program combining classroom and international field-based research training.
  • Students engaged in hands-on research projects abroad under faculty mentorship.
  • Curriculum included "8 steps of research" and cultural competency training.

Main Results:

  • Trainees presented research findings internationally and at UH.
  • The majority of participants pursued graduate or professional health degrees.
  • The program contributed to workforce development in infectious disease research.

Conclusions:

  • The UH-MHIRT program successfully immersed students in international research, fostering interest in global health.
  • The initiative provided benefits for students, faculty, and research efforts.
  • This model demonstrates effective international research training for diverse undergraduate populations.
